I tried to run a jar file on nodejs but it threw out a following error:

Error: Unable to access jarfile /home/example/Applications/example.jar

This is the following code that I have in my test.js:

var exec = require('child_process').exec, child;

child = exec('/usr/bin/java -jar ~/Applications/example.jar',

  function (error, stdout, stderr){

    console.log('stdout: ' + stdout);

    console.log('stderr: ' + stderr);

    if(error !== null){

      console.log('exec error: ' + error);

    }

});

I ran my test.js with nodejs in this command but received the error above:

node test.js

Is there any mistake that I made with my code? I am not sure why it is throwing an error at this point.
